Since I have two SCSI disks as BIOS drives 0 and 1, then two IDE drives as 2 and 3, I had to add a boot.conf to say 2:wd(0,a)kernel. (It works this way just great..minus the splash screen.) From what I have read, the splash screen gets loaded from/by /boot/loader, but once loader finishes, I get the switching to wd2a then panic cannot mount root, where it should be wd0a (or wd0s1a, its wrong anyhow.) Is there a way around this problem? Something to do with the disk1: stuff? PS: I would have searched, but the archives seem to be offline, or is there some bit of documentation that I missed? -- Eric Hodel hodeleri@seattleu.edu Where do you want to go today? http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
